BERNARDS, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey church has planted an offspring of a now-dead white oak that was believed to be the oldest in the U.S. NJ.com reports (http://bit.ly/2oyMpDU ) that the younger tree has been moved to the grounds of a Bernards church to replace its so-called father tree. The old tree, declared dead last summer after it failed to sprout foliage, is scheduled to be chopped down soon. The new tree was originally planted in 2001 at a nearby college, where it has grown to a height of 25 feet. The Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church is 300 years younger than the 600-year-old tree on its property. That tree was believed to be the nation's oldest white oak. The younger tree has been planted a short walk from its father. ___ Information from: NJ.com, http://www.nj.com
